Thank you from the President Thank you for entering this Sydney Royal Competition and congratulations to all of this year’s Sydney Royal medal winners. Entries continued to be strong this year, highlighting the importance of our competitions amongst producers. Acknowledging excellence and encouraging innovation is at the heart of our charter, and in turn, supports a sustainable and successful future for all involved in each agricultural step of our food and wine industries. Our Sydney Royal competitions are amongst the most prestigious in the country, raising the benchmark in product superiority across a range of diverse classes. The reward for such excellence is a Sydney Royal medal, a significant achievement and one that is acknowledged by your industry peers and consumers alike. The ability to go to market with Sydney Royal artwork on the packaging elevates your product and signifies the exceptional quality recognised by our judges. The standards set at our competitions are renowned across Australia, endorsing the impartiality, rigorous standards and absolute professionalism of our esteemed judging panels. I would like to extend my gratitude to our judges, stewards and dedicated committees. I would also like to give thanks to all associated sponsors who support the ongoing development of our Sydney Royal competitions each year. I look forward to seeing the passion and devotion of our winning producers result in commercial success, and I encourage them to take advantage of all associated benefits of their win. I hope all entrants have enjoyed their experience and are inspired to join in the tradition of entering every year.
